If you have a xrs 9570 do you get lots of false alarms on it? Is it worth $139?

you get some false alarms in the city but not that many to bug me but I think it was well worth the money I say go for it.

A few....you have to switch to City mode or Highway mode when appropriate. This will help cut down on microwave alarms in town. I prefer a false alarm once in a while to also have the real deal alerts! You makE the call.

I have the xrs 9370 and as you may see from my review it does not give ANY warning against the latest 'police' radars. I would expect the 9570 to not work either. You will always get false alarms, even with the expensive Bells etc.Hope this helps.

As far as I know, the Escort Live function has no connection with false alarms. If you have the Escort 9500iX, it learns non-police radar signals over time, and locks those out. Of course, if it's the first time that radar detector has driven through a particular route, it doesn't know about false alarm signals. What Escort Live does do for you is link your radar detector to your smart phone (either iPhone or Android - make sure you order the appropriate Escort Live unit to match the phone you have). The link between the phone and the radar detector does two things: 1) it alerts you to the presence of police units that have been noted by other drivers, as well as if the radar was active, it advises you of that fact, and the age of the report (current, 30 minutes ago, an hour ago, etc). If other Escort Live drivers are ahead of you, and your unit receives a report from their system you get a LIVE RADAR alert, as well as distance to the point where the other driver's system detected the radar. 2) Your system provides alerts to the other drivers with Escort Live capability. In busy metro areas, or on interstates, this can be quite helpful. If you are traveling where there is no cell coverage, of course there is no link to the Escort Live server, as your cell phone has no network connection. Keep this in-mind if you acquire this system. I find the system quite valuable, and I occasionally get an alert in areas where I didn't expect another Escort Live driver to have passed through, just because the area is so remote.

I don't think they've confirmed it, but I had an original two malfunction and one of my two replacement units gave false alarms also. So either way, the product is junk. I have returned all for my money back.

I had a similar situation. I used this without a problem. My house had 1276 alarms and this one was plug and play. Actually I was upset with my alarms in my house. This alarm came with a date of manufacture and my house ones did not.

I'm not sure but wouldn't be surprised.I agree you buy the product once and should never have to pay for anything else.I like the detector, just not their sales and support service. If I had to buy again I'd probably look at the valentine or something simular. At least they seem honest and up front.

I have had both the 9970g and currently using the vendetta... I lean more towards the 9970g more seemed to pick up way more, tell when emergency vehicles approaching, and railroad alerts. Kind of got annoying but worked great

The difference between the two models, the XRS 9965 and the XRS 9970G is that the latter includes GPS and can detect "RED LIGHT" camera zones and other speed traps, the "AURA" database is free to update for the lifetime of the unit. It's definitely worth the extra few bucks.

I have two of these detectors and have had no false alarms. There may be other "gases" that trigger the alarm, such as hair spray, disinfectants or other aerosol can contents. The alarm works good for us.

Yes its a rippoff-its still better to pay the 99 bloodmoney than spend twice as much for thesame item(some tweeks that improve it but nothing substantial). I really don't want a GPS(or cell for that matter) to take pictures, be a Mp3 etc. As good as the other companies-some advantages, some disadvantages.

2-way motorcycle alarm pager with remote .... (spy) is nothing compared with some other. This didn't have 80 mtr range but some other at the range of $25 have a range of &lt;500mtr range signal and all the parts are working

I'll tell you my experience. I should have asked this question prior to purchasing the 2gig. If you want to buy a cell radio module, add the 2gig IMEI to your cell phone plan and monitor it, you can't. Bottom line is you have to have Alarm.com monitoring. To be fair IRIS isn't totally free in that regard either. However, there are some lesser known, and very budget friendly monitoring services that won't cost you 60 bucks a month. For instance Suretycam (suretydiy.com) will give you ZWave control, 2 way voice and basic alarm features for 19 bucks a month and you can control everything through your smart phone. If you want central station monitoring it's a little more. The other thing you should realize here is that the 2Gig GoControl is a Zwave hub and if you try to add it to an existing Zwave system as a secondary controller (say Veralite for instance) it just won't work very well. That being said, I love the 2Gig. It runs everything I need....lights, door locks, garage door, alarm sensors, electrical outlets, you name it, and I can control it all through alarm.com with a very easy to use and feature rich app for my phone. The only other thing I would say is if you go this route make sure you buy a cell radio that is not registered to another Alarm.com provider....Vivint especially. Some will not release their IMEI and you'll be out 80 bucks. You can check the IMEI here: http://suretycam.com/cellular-module-check

I've only used the Babysense, but we have friends with the Angel Care who seem to get many more false alarms than we do. I was bothered by the flashing blue light when in operation, but our child seems unaffected by it.

The GPS unit and the lifetime AURA subscription. The actual detectors themselves are identical with both being 9965's.Just need to ask yourself if the GPS capability is important to you.

Before buying it, or any radar detector on amazon, go to the cobra website, www.cobra.com and make.sure they do actually make that model and make sure it has all the features you want. Make sure it actually has everything advertised. I bought the xrs9880 and it was a fake.

Its better for you to checkİt from the internet. I've just bought it because i thought its a newer model. But i dont recommend it to you though. İts giving signal to everything. If you listen to this radars signals you cant even eide a mile.

I went with AlarmSim, but as @LeppardQueen said, it will take a while to pay off.. I figure either way is less expensive than getting a new system.. I'll report back once I receive it an set up.
